Character of the Section Which It Is Proposed to Take For the En largement of Capitol Park. Harrisburg, Feb. 11. —The illustra tion which accompanies this letter shows a view of the central section of that part of Harrisburg lying between the present capitol grounds and the Pennsylvania railroad, which it i3 pro posed to acquire for the greatly needed addition to Capitol Park. As will be seen from the picture, n vast majority of the buildings in this section are common and cheap, and this picture, showing the central part through which State street runs. Is by far the host part of the tract which, exclusive of streets, contains about I t acres of land. A vast majority of the buildings in this section are cheap and in many cases squalid, bnih of frame and in habited, many of them by ignorant and vicious negroes. The whole section is skirted by the main tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad, il it cleared off and made into a park as proposed il will give everyone a fine view of our magnificent capitol who passes through on a railroad train. At present only a glimpse of it can be got through State street and the-narrow alleys, north arid south ol State street. Moreover, available sites for hig manufactories and warehouses a Ija cent to the railroad are becoming very scarce. If the state does not secure this land now it Is inevitable that great buildings will very soon be built In this section along the railroad which will forever shut off a view of the capitol and so enhance values that it will be practically impossible ever to make the enlargement of Capitol Park, which every consideration of good business demands should be made. The United States government 13 now about to pay $10,000,000 for a comparatively small tract of land to enlarge the White House grounds anil provide sites for necessary buildings for the executive departments of the United States government. Thirty-live years ago. before Washington got it ; boom from the enterprise and fore sight of Governor Alexander R. Sh p herd in laying and paving new streets and in various other ways b-aiul'yln - ?. and improving the city, the lan I for , which the government will he required to pay $10,000,000 could hn.v.-» been i gotten for one-twentieth of that sum,' $500,000. If the enlargement of Capitol Park is not provided for now the time will pass forever or we will in a few years be compelled to pay ten times as much as we could secure the land for now. Senator Fox's bill appropriating sl,- 600.000 to pay for the land was report ed favorably by the senate committee on appropriations on Wednesday. This appropriation will not interfere in any way with the appropriations for pris ons. hospitals, asylums, schools, good roads, nor any other proper expendi ture by the state, for it will take some years to acquire the property, and the bill will carry a proviso that not more than one-third or one-fourth of the total appropriation shall be expended in any one year. It is confidently expected that the bill will pass both houses, as it ought to. There is no sane or cogent reason why it should not pass and many rea sons why It should. 60 YEARS' i ■■ 4 k ■ r* ] * HmUbIM TRADE MARKS DESIGNS r rTTi' COPYRIGHTS AC.
